tangerine orange & me

Growing up in Tennessee and then spending 10 years in Clemson, orange has always been in my life. It was a favorite bathing suit color as a kid (neon orange can actually make you look more tan - who knew), and as a sports fan, I've enjoyed wearing both Tennessee and Clemson Orange.

I like orange so much that I've planned to use it as an accent color in my kitchen. Yellow and green are the primary colors, but I like orange as an accent.

Not too bad, right? I like Fiestaware, and have hand me down white and blue sets. I want to expand my collection, so for Christmas I asked for more - so I can start phasing out the blue. One of the colors I got was tangerine orange...which today I learned happens to be very close to Pantone's 2012 color of the year! How trendy of me! (You're allowed to laugh out loud, I am)

Sooooo, the spammers have finally discovered my blog. I'm not sure if that means I've 'made it', but it does mean that I have turned on comment moderation for my older posts. Don't worry though, I get the notifications quickly, and promise to read and publish anything that doesn't include random comments or suspicious links.

About Me

I like to think of myself as a thinker and a doer. My academic training is in Mechanical Engineering, but my life's experience/work is a lot more varied. To best sum it up I'd say I'm an artist & an analyst who enjoys good food, good friends, and playing in the dirt.

A note

I'm not a very good blogger. I'm inconsistent at best. I've tried twice & failed. Third time worked for a while. I make no promises.

I tend to be a little all over the place, but I've blogged most consistently about my yard (garden is not quite the right word for this much wooded space), and living in my Great Grandmother's Cottage house. I'm love being back in Chattanooga, so I'm apt to recap my adventures her too.

Let me know you've stopped by! Leave a comment or check the box at the end of the post to tell me what you think. Sometimes we all need a swift kick for motivation. Thanks for visiting my random, ever evolving, blog :)
